<p>You can modify a protection plan to modify the associated SLA information of an instance. After the modification, the next backup will be performed based on the new protection plan.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong></p>
<p>The modification does not affect the protection job that is being executed. The modified protection plan will take effect in the next protection period.</p>

<p>You can remove the protection if the instance no longer needs to be protected. After the removal, the system cannot execute protection jobs for the instance. To protect the instance again, you need to associate an SLA with the instance again.</p>
